This is probably the most discussed sports documentary ever, it was released during the pandemic, when there was no live sports on, every sports talk show analyzed every episode like it was a finals game.
Can imagine how much attention it would’ve been given during the pandemic. Appreciate the comment, hadn’t been aware it was during the pandemic.

A general manager in American sports is the person in charge of hiring coaching, drafting and facilitating the team like trades and signing players. Probably the most intense job in North American soorts. You get a lot of the credit. But you also get a lot of the blame when things go south
Yeah that does sounds like a demanding job! Can imagine a lot of the blame falls on them if they don’t get it right!
It's like a director of football in premier league terms
Tom Brady was pick number 199 in round 6 of the 2000 NFL Draft. He's the only guy who might beat Jordan out as the best player to not go #1 overall.
Great shout! Appreciate the comment, thank you 🙏
Tom Brady is nowhere near MJ lmaoo what are you talking about
Michael Jordan is by far the greatest player who ever played in any team sport. There will never be a player like him and the people who saw him play know that.
It’s very, very hard to argue with that assessment
I don't know about 'never', but up until today, no player comes close to him...
12:48 that was actually a huge statement. Bobby Knight is one of the most legendary coaches of all time, he coached Jordan during the 1984 olympics before Michael became an NBA player and the fact that he said Michael Jordan was the greatest player he's ever seen play the game BEFORE before he ever even put on an NBA jersey is insane.
Appreciate the context, thank you 🙏
12:49 RIP Bob Knight!
To answer your question about the greatest player to not be drafted 1st, the answer is Wayne Gretzky. He went undrafted because he played for a team in a different professional league called the WHA. The WHA then merged with the NHL and that’s how Gretzky came into the league.
Great shout! That is crazy to think Gretzky went undrafted. Thanks for the comment and context!
Lol Rodman kicking that cameraman was such a big deal at the time
I'm a Chicagoan who hates the Chicago Bulls. This documentary heavily sums up why. MJ fooled everyone into thinking that the organization was competent.
>The organization was founded in the 1960s. They haven't won a single champion (or even been to a finals) pre-or post-MJ. That is no coincidence. The organization was also struggling financially and was nearly 2/3 empty pre-MJ. They just finished missing the playoffs 3 straight years in a row before MJ joined the team.
>MJ pops up.
-As a rookie, he starts selling out the stadiums every game and turns them into playoff contenders.
-He slowly works with the organization and coaches to turn them into champions.
-It took 7 years before they finally reached the top of the mountain. Before that, MJ spend year after year getting scrutinized by the media for not turning the Bulls into champions, despite the lack of star talent on his team.
>Finally, MJ beats all odds.
-He 3 peats 2x.
-Unlike most championship teams (which had stacked offense and great defense), the Bulls were a defensive oriented squad.
-No one outside of MJ, were elite offensively. So, they had to rely on defense, ball movement, and Jordan's heroics to win.
-They were also injury prone, and MJ had to continue to play entire seasons and heavy minutes to compensate for his teammates missing large stretches of games.
>Even though MJ had to do more than other legends to win, the organization are the least appreciative of his leadership.
-His teammates complain left and right about how they want "more spotlight" on their roles.
-The general manager, Jerry Krause, literally breaks the team up because he's tired of "not getting enough credit" for their success.
They're toxic, incompetent, and ungrateful. And it explains why they haven't won anything before or after MJ joined.
Wow, a lot of info in here, an interesting read. Appreciate the comment and context!
Missed the nba on the main channel on Sunday but worth it if it gives you guys more time for stuff like this 👌👌👌
It was meant to be dropping Sunday but the NBA blocked our D-Wade video 😭 glad you liked this one though!
The goat of not only basketball, but every sport and I don't care who disagrees. If you were around then and watching him play, you agree.
When this dropped at the beginning of the pandemic it was appointment viewing, every single week. I have seen it maybe 10 times and it never gets old. There truly will never be another athlete like MJ.
British guys trying to figure out distances between US cities/states is always funny. I live in a fairly small state and it's probably just a tad smaller than the UK 😂. We used to drive over 1k miles to Florida once a year. All in one shot. By the time you get there you feel like you've been run over lol.
Yeah I’ve been to the states a few times and still can’t comprehend the distance you guys travel 😂
Jordan was considered by many to be the greatest player of all-time while he was still playing with the Bulls. Just because that commentator said "possibly the greatest ever" was just him leaving the door open for debate. But most people considered him the best ever. It's incredibly rare for a player to be called the greatest ever while he's still playing, but that's how Jordan was seen.
Jordan retired three times in his 1984-2003 career.
He retired after the 1993 season because he wanted to play baseball to honor his father who had just been murdered. Jordan’s father loved baseball. Jordan came back to the Bulls in the 1995 playoffs where they would lose to the Orlando Magic.
He retired again after the 1998 finals. He came back to the NBA in the 2002 season and played with the Washington Wizards for two seasons.
He retired for the last and final time after the 2003 season.
Really appreciate the context and breakdown, thank you 🙏
You guys were cracking me up trying to figure out how far it is from North Carolina to Chicago. From the U of North Carolina to Chicago is around 1200 kilometers driving distance.😊 And, yes, North Carolina is in the East coast. I'm looking forward to more posts on your new channel.
I’m (Nick) pretty good with US geography but that one stumped me 😂 always knew where North Carolina was though!
GM is responsible for answering to the owner of course but he’s essentially the big dog who builds the team via drafting, trades negotiates contracts with players and their agents, the coach then has to take said team and make it work on the floor/ice what have you
Great first video 👍👍👍 one question can they be longer
It took a long time to get the video to a stage where it wouldn’t get blocked by YT. If it was longer, we wouldn’t be able to get it up on YT at all. The full uncut episodes are on our Patreon. Thanks for the support Taegen! 🙏🏼
@@DNReactsShowtime okay that's fine then
@@DNReactsShowtime you guys are the best My favorite CZcamsrs right now I'll aways support you
Dennis Rodman used to date Carmen Electra
i can't believe the youtube algo took 11 days to recommend this to me, since i follow the other channel
Can take a while with new channels but glad you’re here Brett 🙏
Thanks for doing this guys! Will you also do this with quarterback?
It depends how successful the channel is because it takes A LOT of time to get these cut down to a point where we can even get them on CZcams 😂 glad you like it!
Very pumped about the reaction channel ! I hope you consider watching the sopranos, it’ll give you a real look into the northeast of America while also being one of the greatest shows of all time
I’ve (Nick) seen it years ago! Incredible show but would definitely watch again!
I lived a few minutes from the Bulls practice facility during the 90s and regularly saw Bulls players shopping or in restaurants. (Not MJ, unfortunately.) The Bulls were like rock stars. It was a decade of mania. This documentary was like getting into a time machine and reliving a great era.
I bet that was pretty cool! Alot of nostalgia in this series for you!
@@DNReactsShowtime Indeed.
Lebron will never be Jordan
Nope, he will carry on being LeBron! Appreciate the comment Mike, nice to see some more support from the main channel 😀
Great reply guys!
LeBron would never quit twice and be a bad teammate. Also MJ literally lost more games than he won without the greatest coach of all time helping him out. MJ played against a watered down league and his Finals opponents are weak as hell compared to LeBrons finals oppponents
@@PHXNKVHXLIC if the league was watered down then explain the dream team
@@jellybegger If that same dream team existed today they wouldn't be as dominant. They still would've won gold, but not as easily. They didn't have to play against giannis, jokic, luka, ... The rest of the world is simply catching up
MJ is the only man I have ever admired, loved and idolized. Ok also my dad lol.
Love this! Hey, it’s completely understandable 😅 Thanks for the comment Tim 🙏
Technically probably Gretzky as the NHL didn’t traditionally “draft him”.
Great shout! Hadn’t thought of Gretzky for this.
Great video as always but thought this would be on your sports channel thought it would be movies and tv shows
Thanks Brian, this is a TV show. We started with a sports show as we had already recorded it for Patreon, we just cut it down a lot! We thought that because we have a good sports following it would help give the channel a head start, but there will be plenty of shows and movies to come 😊
@DNReactsShowtime well I'm here for it the reaction was good either way
Bulls franchise started in 1966.
Thank you!
4:08 let’s just say, as a Chicagoan, we’re still rebuilding
That doesn’t sound promising 😂
@@DNReactsShowtime Secret Base did a collapse video on the post MJ Bulls which shows how the bulls has been up until recently. I’ll say it’s a lot of peaks and valleys, not much to show for it per se. Good years w/ Derrick Rose 09-15 but only 1 Eastern conference finals appearance between post MJ and now.
Regarding the draft, Michael Jordan probably is the best player that's not #1 but in terms of value relative to draft position, it's Tom Brady and in basketball it's Nikola Jokic
That lebron when it ages over time take ain’t gonna end well fam, you either know or you don’t, time ain’t changing 23 🐐, lebron longevity is impressive, but nothing was like 23 it was like thanos with the stones on the court everyone could team up wouldn’t matter, ask the monstars
Appreciate the comment! Still diving into so much NBA history at the moment but think it’s pretty clear that MJ is the clear goat.
Rodman has been linked to Carmen Electra and Madonna at various times
Yeah those are the two that I knew he’d been with! Thanks for the comment!
@@DNReactsShowtimeHe is also friends with Kim Jong Un. (His words)
Phil Jackson won 11 championships as a coach, 6 titles as coach of the Bulls and 5 more with the Lakers.
Crazy record!
Phil also won a ring as a player with the Knicks. Steve Kerr has a lot of rings as a player and a coach.
You guys should watch “The U” and “The U Part 2” next!
We’ve watched them! They are both up on our Patreon 😀
GOAT
🔥🔥🔥
yes michael shoulda bedn drafted #1 but tom brady was drafted #199 and he has 7 super bowl rings, just sone food for thought lol
Yeah that’s a really good shout! Always forget how low Brady went in the Draft 😅
Bonds wasn’t drafted 1 Brady was 7th round Marino, Rice. Probably half of the greats were not 1 overall but 3 to late first round. Brees was second round and one of the best statistically
It’s crazy when you sit back and realise how many of the greats were taken down the draft. Found out in these comments that Gretzky went undrafted too.
12:19
That's easily Tom Brady for me personally. He was drafted at Round 6 Pick 199.
That’s a really good shout 👍 Can’t believe we forgot about Brady. Thank you for the comment, we really appreciate it.
Tom Brady 199th in the 6th
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Kurt Warner didn't get drafted at all...won a Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP, and the MVP of the league twice.
That’s a great shout, loving some of these pic outs in these comments
1:43 1966
tom brady pick #199
Great shout! How on earth did we miss that one 😂
@@DNReactsShowtimelol
The greatest player not drafted number 1 is Jordan but the greatest player ever by his awful draft position is without a doubt Tom Brady. Hell, some people might make an argument over Jordan and it would be a competitive debate.
That’s a great shout. A lot of mentions for Brady! We did crazily forget about Brady. Appreciate the comment
Love the new Chanel if your doing docs would love to see believeland 30 for 30. About lebron bringing the first professional sports championship to Cleveland since 1964 in any sport including baseball, basketball, and football.
Thanks for the recommendations! The channel will feature non sports content too 😀
Jordan "retired" straight after the 93 3peat season, played baseball but wasn't Bo Jackson
Then came back in 95
Thanks Paul!
Not much has changed regarding Jordan's status. Pretty much since his first championship he's been considered the greatest. LeBron on the other hand I think will go in the opposite direction. Eventually once the influence wears off people will start to see he wasn't that great of a player. More of a celebrity than a champion.
Will definitely be interesting to see what happens. Appreciate the comment!
Greatest ever non #1 pick?
Kind of a tough call across the major American sports....Jordan wasn't a first overall pick, but neither was Wayne Gretzky...hell, Tom Brady was picked 199th!
Ken Griffey Jr was probably the greatest #1 pick in MLB history...but probably not the greatest player of all time
Appreciate the comment 😀
Michael > LeBron
Bird > Lebron
That’s how I see it too (Damo). Appreciate the comment!
LeBron will not be considered greater than Jordan because there will be others who will come after LeBron who will eclipse what LeBron has done.
There will be no one who will eclipse what Jordan has done. Jordan took the NBA from a national league to a global game. He launched Nike to
the global shoe brand it is now. He built one of the worst franchises in the NBA to the best franchise post the Bill Russell era Celtics. LeBron has
never come close to any of that. LeBron is a great player, but his narrative has been largely media generated. The problem with that is that as soon
as there is another great player, the media will change their narrative to accommodate that new player. There is a reason the narrative on MJ hasn't
changed so many decades after his retirement.
Interesting read, thanks for the comment
Tom Brady is easily the greatest pick ever. He was picked in the sixth round of the NFL draft 200 and something. It goes without saying he's the greatest American football player.
Definitely been a popular one in the comments and for good reason. Can’t believe we forgot about Brady!
Certain sports you may be right Damo. But a blind monkey could have coached that team to at least the conference finals every year. Without Jordan, Pippen and Rodman that team goes nowhere and makes no money, no matter who is coaching them. Basketball is an extremely player driven sport. There are only 5 per team on the court at a time, their impact is magnified considerably from soccer/football etc. Even the great Phil Jackson didn't want to coach a team without at least 1 superstar. Because he knew they had no chance at winning.
